Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread
-
The maker would be Crispin Bending, of Camden Lock, London.
-
For clarification… Is this a belt for purchase or is it the actual championship belt that you are talking about mega? Excuse my ignorance if this has been addressed already but really intrigued as I am currently on the hunt for a new belt for my MBB ...
-
Belt for purchase; World Champion Belts are being provided by Obbigood Label.
Mega is apparently trying to make sure participants are able to dress themselves from head to toe in official HWDC gear…
-
I thought that's what I had read concerning OGL but after the earlier posts figured maybe something had changed
-
Dude, I'm very interested in the belt. Will yeah please make one fat enough for me to squeeze into, for feks sake?

Mega is apparently working his arse off to secure high quality goods for the competitors, at an extremely reasonable price, with the added benefit of an extra dimension to the competition possibly?
Thanks for clearing that up Chris

Bridle Leather HWDC Belts
The belts are going to happen, I am having a conversation the weekend with Crispin to discuss leather and buckle options, and I will announce the terms, price and pre-order next week. There are a number of options of leather, of which Bridle Leather is the best leather, and therefore the most expensive (natural untreated leather and Italian shoulder leather are the other options), and also a number of buckle options (I'm thinking a silver coloured buckle to match the hardware on the MBB's).
Any questions you want to ask about the belts, fire away
-
Will they come in a size larger than a medium?
-
Yes, they certainly will
-
The belts will be a maximum of $120 shipped anywhere in the world I suspect, and I am aiming for lower than that. I'm honestly working my arse off to find us the best belt, at the lowest cost, the HWDC merchandise ( like the tees ) has to be an accessible price for everyone.
-
Giles is sourcing a LHT cotton twill, hand woven by monks from Belgistan, using otter bones for the underwear.
-
There should be an adequate number of rhino bones left over after I take the hide for my HWDC boots and the meat for some delicious stirfrys and satays.
-
HWDC belt, current thinking is that it will be specced and priced as follows….
- Choice of black, brown or tan finest quality English Bridle Leather.
- Brass and Masac buckle (Masac is a die cast alloy) with a brushed silver finish, matching the hardware on the MBB's.
- Hand cut and hand made in London.
- Retail price $100 for HWDC contestants, $120 for none contestants.
- Price includes world wide shipping.
Let me know if you want to order, need at least 50 orders.
-
Samples should be with me next week, and pictures will be posted then. I wouldn't expect people to pay without seeing what they are ordering.
-
Can't wait to see the pics of the belt. I'm likely in since I've already sold whats left of my soul to this competition.

Oh, I think I'm going to get a little more of it before we're finished…...
